I've attached a screenshot. I was trying to open and run a template to get a feel for java graphics. Should I download a different JDK version?
I've tried youtube and google for answers.

JavaFX hasn't been part of the JDK since version 11 (possibly earlier, but I only look at long-term support versions, so 11 comes after 8). You need to install JavaFX separately.passer-by– passer-by2022-03-22 17:18:12 +00:00Commented Mar 22, 2022 at 17:18

3Documentation is in getting started at openjfx.io. The easiest way is the new JavaFX project wizard in Idea. Recent JDK versions which include JavaFX are available, setup Zulu JDK FX in Idea, but not necessarily needed. Ensure that whatever IDE and other software that you use is up to date.jewelsea– jewelsea2022-03-22 17:21:16 +00:00Commented Mar 22, 2022 at 17:21

tl;dr
Download either ZuluFX or LibericaFX as your JDK/JRE.
Details
JavaFX has never been a part of standard Java SE.
Modern JavaFX is implemented in the OpenJFX project led by Gluon and Oracle Corp.
To write and deploy a JavaFX app you must either:
- Include a copy of the OpenJFX libraries within your app, or
- Use a JDK that comes bundled with the OpenJFX libraries.
At least two vendors currently offer a JDK/JRE with OpenJFX bundled:
- ZuluFX by Azul Systems
- LibericaFX by BellSoft
